Homer
Greek - Poet

Restrain yourself... and gloat in silence. I'll have no jubilation here. It is an impious thing to exult over the slain.

The soul is not born; it does not die; it was not produced from anyone? Unborn, eternal, it is not slain, though the body is slain.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Arms are instruments of ill omen.... When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men.... When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.

Laozi

Homer

If the red slayer think he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways, I keep and pass and turn again.

Martin Luther

Whether men are pleased or not, we will, we must, worship the Lamb that was slain.

Plutarch

Consider that nothing in human life is stable; for then you will not exult overmuch in prosperity, nor grieve overmuch in adversity. Rejoice over the good things which come to you, but grieve in moderation over the evils which befall you.

Isocrates

From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make the stones weep.

Robert Jordan

The business of finding a nation's soul is a long and slow one at the best and a great many prophets must be slain in the course of it. Perhaps when we have slain enough prophets future generations will begin to build their tombs.
